I am a licensed psychologist who engages compassionately and collaboratively, drawing on a person-centered therapy approach to empower clients to make value-centered choices and meaningful life changes. I bring a rich skill set cultivated in diverse hospital and community settings. I establish a supportive and empathetic therapeutic relationship with clients. I have a background in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (MCBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and Compassion-Focused Therapy (CFT). With strong experience in treating mood issues, anxiety concerns, trauma/PTSD, ADHD, addiction, interpersonal problems, parenting, self-esteem challenges, eating disorders, and stress management, my competencies are extensive.
I work with my clients to create an open and safe environment where thoughts and feelings can be shared without fear of judgment. My commitment to continuous learning, including a robust learner’s mindset and staying current with the latest empirical research, further enriches my capacity to enhance therapeutic outcomes.
Taking the first step to seeking a more fulfilling and happier life takes courage. I am happy to support you in that process!
